request for ignore commands feature for API /statuses/update

Hello,

It would be nice that the API /statuses/update.format has a feature to ignore Twitter commands such as fav and whois.

For example:
"status=w%20Hello&command=false" just post "w Hello" as it is.

* Background
I'm developing my API client and having a problem with the commands.

As far as I know only ASCII characters are searched to detect commands, then the combination of Japanese characters and a command, for example, "?????w" (suppose ???? are Japanese characters) is interpreted as just "whois" without arguments. (w is an abbreviation of whois). As a result of that, it ends up as a failure of the post operation.

You can see this behavior by posting with "?????w" from Twitter web site.

The failure is notified with an error message when you use the web interface. However it's not notified to API client.

Note that "w" has a meaning of "laughing" among Japanese net users. The combinations of some Japanese characters and "w" are frequently used. So this behavior is not convenient.

To solve this problem, it's nice that the API /statuses/update.format has a feature to ignore the commands.

For example:

command=false - means ignore commands

Usage:

status=?????w&command=false

Result:
"?????w" is posted as it is.

Thanks,
Akira
